After much prayer and consideration, Walker accepted the task of tackling the afternoon gospel segment that is completely self programmed and self produced during the high demand afternoon drive time.

When asked what he feels about being literally and physically sandwiched between colleagues Steve Harvey and Wendy Williams, Walker declares “I am right where the Lord would have me to be for such a time as this”.
